About
Mississippi Valley Mayhem (MVM) is an all-female, flat track roller derby league based in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Founded in August 2008, the league consists of a single team which competes against other teams from leagues in the surrounding region.
Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA)
Mississippi Valley Mayhem is one of the many teams representing Division 3 of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). WFTDA is made up of skater run leagues who vote on the rules, hold tournaments, sanction teams and bouts, train referees, rank leagues regionally and nationally, and establish the safety and training of the member leagues.
MVM was accepted into the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in January 2010, and graduated to full WFTDA status in December 2012.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Mississippi Valley Mayhem exists to promote the sport of women’s flat track roller derby in the Midwest, help local charities and organizations and create positive female role models in our community. The league is open to all qualified participants who meet membership requirements.
WHERE WE CALL HOME
